In the Wake of the News
4:41 PM CDT, September 1, 2012
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Desperation brought Digger Phelps to the Adams High School auditorium one night last April. Inspiration made him rise.
Phelps, the colorful former Notre Dame basketball coach and current ESPN analyst, had returned from the Final Four to his home of the last 40 years when a South Bend Tribune headline ruined his first night off in weeks: "City sees youth violence spike.''
For years Phelps had led local mentoring programs intended to stop the violence. But now, he wondered, for what? Over the first 10 days of April, five South Bend teens had been shot in three separate incidents. In the coaching vernacular Phelps assigns to everyday life, he was losing big. His city was losing control. And this was no game.
So when new South Bend Community Schools Superintendent Carole Schmidt called a Town Hall meeting to address concerns in the district, Phelps meticulously went over his personal game plan. As usual, it relied heavily on instinct and adrenalin.
"There are about 200 people there and I get up and ask, 'OK, how can we put a team together of community assets to resolve this issue of youth violence, with education being the foundation?' '' Phelps recalled. "She says, 'The community has to come together.'''
Phelps, 71 going on 40, suddenly felt a familiar pang coaches who live for challenges never lose.
"I jump and say, 'I'll coach it!''' Phelps said. "I had no idea I was going to do that. Not sure what made me.''
Richard Phelps was 12 when his father, Dick, an undertaker in the town of Beacon, N.Y., made clear to him and his sisters how to treat grieving families at their new funeral home.
"He says, 'You kids understand: All religions are our religions. All skin colors are our skin colors. All cultures are our cultures. When people lose a loved one, they trust us through that crisis. Treat people in need right,''' Phelps said. "That never left me.''
Phelps' dad, an active community leader, grew up in an orphanage and never knew his father. An uncle adopted Dick Phelps as a teenager and gave him a future. When Digger tells young kids from single-parent homes they can overcome their circumstances to make an impact on society, he thinks of his father. When Phelps wonders if a kid is worth the effort, he remembers he wouldn't have the life he enjoys if somebody with good intentions had left his dad alone.
"I see kids who just need someone to say, 'You don't have to go this way, just trust, there's someone who cares,' '' Phelps said.
There are 54 names and phone numbers on the spreadsheet. For two months beginning in mid-April, Phelps worked eight hours a day contacting everybody he knew in South Bend — and everybody knows Digger. He only expects the people he calls "community assets," to follow three simple rules familiar to Phelps' former players: Don't assume. Follow up. Have a backup.
"Hi, this is Digger Phelps of Notre Dame,'' Phelps said over the phone when the St. Joseph Co. Prosecutor's office answered.
Phelps coached his last game at Notre Dame in 1991, but adults in town still associate him with the place he went 393-195 over 20 seasons but is remembered best for graduating all 56 players who played four years for him. As for younger fans, Phelps kidded, "They know me as the guy on ESPN who matches his ties with his highlighters.''
One of those kids needs Phelps' brand of tough love now. A potential Division I basketball player, the 14-year-old got kicked out of school after being caught with drugs and a gun. Where some people might see a statistic, Phelps sees a good kid who made a bad decision. He recently accompanied the youth's probation officer for a visit at the juvenile-justice center.
"It was vintage locker room,'' Phelps said. "I ripped him. 'You know that basketball is worth a $200,000 education? Get with the program!' Sometimes it takes letting them know someone cares.''
Ambitiously, Phelps seeks 500 new mentors so the program can start in grade school. So far he has commitments from 400. With cooperation from school and government leaders, the mentors soon will implement the kind of comprehensive after-school programs and community policing efforts he thinks can work in cities of all sizes.
"You give me a kid who is 6 for 10 years, we've got him,'' Phelps said. "I don't want kids dead at 18 or 25. Grab these guys early and get them to stop killing each other.''
Phelps speaks from the heart but also experience. Under President George H.W. Bush, he headed Operation Weed and Seed, an initiative intended to assist America's most struggling urban areas. In New Orleans, Phelps recently helped restore troubled McDonough High into a culinary training center thanks to $35 million in federal funding. In Memphis, he raised funds and delivered the commencement address to the first class of students — all 51 are college-bound — at Soulsville Stax Music Academy Charter School in the city's poorest section.
"I left there thinking, why aren't we doing this all over the country?'' Phelps said.
Like at Notre Dame, not everybody appreciates Phelps' coaching style. South Bend councilman Henry Davis Jr. walked out of a meeting last May after accusing Phelps of grandstanding. At the same meeting, another councilman shouted at Phelps for interrupting him.
"Give me a technical,'' Phelps said. "I don't care about protocol if it stops kids getting shot.''
He cares about progress like the Kraft executive who offered to start a youth jobs program. Like his buddy from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives who has brought advanced gang-resistance training to South Bend schools. Like the local clergymen Phelps challenged to "preach it on Sunday and reach them on Monday,'' who have increased the pool of participants.
"It will not turn things around over night but Digger's program is a great start,'' South Bend councilman Derek Dieter said. "Nobody else in this town has stepped up like him. He could be playing golf. Or with his grandkids. I love the guy. He can be abrasive but that's the coach in him saying, 'Come on, let's go.' ''
One recent summer night, Phelps pulled up to a busy outdoor basketball court on campus. Old habits die hard.
"I said, 'Everybody up, team meeting,''' Phelps said.
Soon he was surrounded. In typical Phelps fashion, he challenged his captive audience to seek an education. To stay out of trouble. To "live the dream,'' Phelps said. He shared the story of Mavericks forward Bernard James, who finished his Florida State career at 27.
An athletic 24-year-old named Larry paid closer attention than the rest. Two weeks later, Phelps got word Larry had enrolled in vocational school with the goal of playing at a local junior college. He also received a text: "Hello, Mr. Phelps. Just want to keep you posted on the dream. I'm chasing.''
Six years after Phelps quit coaching, he ran into one of his role models — Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh. Of all the stories about a man who influenced popes, presidents and social change, one of Phelps' favorites involves the retired Notre Dame president challenging Jose Napoleon Duarte.
In 1960, Duarte was a successful civil engineer when Hesburgh urged him to delve into politics in his native El Salvador. The Notre Dame alum returned home, committed himself to bringing democracy to his country and in 1984 became its president.
"So Hesburgh asks me in '97, 'What are you doing?''' Phelps said. "I had a good gig at ESPN and started a mentoring program in town. And I'll never forget it. He said, 'That's it?'''
Phelps thought of Hesburgh's expectations seeing the headline last April that changed his summer. He thinks of Hesburgh, 95, every day he tries changing a world that could be pretty comfortable if Phelps just cared about his corner.
The two shared dinner two weeks ago at Phelps' favorite Italian restaurant.
"Father Hesburgh asked me what I was up to,'' Phelps said. "I said, 'You have me coaching the streets. I'm not Duarte but I'm getting there.' ''

Elvis was laughing about the Colonels bald head, what else I don't know.
Does ANYONE know why Elvis cracked up that evening?
I know there are lot of rumors, and one of them is, that a backup singer continiued singin' while Elvis was laughing, and she just kept going, even hitting the high tones. That's why he's saying 'Sing it baby!'
What have you heard, and do you know what really happend?
Elvis was laughing about the Colonels bald head, what else I don't know.
Every man has a flaming star
To the best of my recollection, I believe that there was a bald-headed guy in the audience and Elvis spotted him and that's where the line, "Do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair?" and the laughter that followed came from....
The laughing version (from 8/24/69) can be found on disc 3 (track 5) of the "Elvis Aron Presley" 4-CD box set....

It was because, all the time Elvis was laughing the Lady who was singing the high notes never skipped a beat
I don't think the man with the bald head is correct my friend, because, if you have seen the 68' comeback, he also uses that line there.
But maybe, you are right
the story goes that there was a woman in the audience who had a wig on and it was quite noticeable, and E.P. started to remember a show that he had done previously that had a woman come up for a kiss and her wig fell on the stage, and E.P. stomped on it kicked it etc... and gave it back to the woman[who was horrified] all amtted.[this story appeared in a tribute mag some years ago, that featured fans storis from, lichter, bonja joe carter, etc.. anyone out there got this mag , i have this just give me some time to find it].
We never know why Elvis Laughing about, the ones know the ones at the show.
I'm those one don't read something don't Believe I read or hear thing . This is one thoses things .
Take a look at you and me,,Are we too blind to see, Do we Simply turn our heads and look the other way.....(Line From "in The Ghetto")
Elvis began laughing because of Charlie Hodge. Nights when Elvis sang "Are You Lonesome Tonight", Charlie would hold the microphone with his back to the audience, while Elvis played guitar on a stool. Charlie, with his back to the audience, would whisper to Elvis to try to get him to crack up and finally worked.
So there are alot of reasons lol
He sang about the bald head in the outtakes of TTWII...that's what i know
I'd like to go to Graceland
I may not know the real reason for Elvis laughing, but everytime I hear to it, makes me laugh too...
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.
"You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"
I got an e-mail telling 'bout Elvis's Las Vegas engagements and included in the e-mail was a story 'bout the "laughing version" of AYLT that we're all so familiar with....but I dunno how true it is. I'll post the full article and highlight the info 'bout the "laughing version" of AYLT:
Elvis' first engagement in Las Vegas was a two-week run in the Venus Room of the New Frontier Hotel. April 23 - May 6, 1956. Perhaps in deference to the atomic testing sites in the nearby desert, he received billing as "The Atomic Powered Singer". A cutout of Elvis standing 24 feet high greeted guests outside the casino.
On the first night of the engagement Elvis' set was the closing act after the headlining Freddy Martin Orchestra, which consisted of seventeen players and twenty-eight singers, dancers and ice skaters. The little four-piece group of Elvis, Scotty, Bill and DJ had become used to performing in front of hundreds of screaming teenagers and often being unable to even hear one another on stage. Suddenly they found themselves in a quiet showroom of older, more reserved listeners - no youth allowed. The audience didn't quite know what to make of the young singer and his musical style.
Elvis didn't let the less than enthusiastic crowd get the best of him. Memphis reporter Bob Johnson wrote, "Elvis, who has played hard audiences before, kept right in there busting guitar strings and shaking his legs and the rafters..... And the ice began to break."
Visitors to the shows included his friend Judy Spreckels, Hal Wallis (who had just signed Elvis to his first movie deal) and entertainers Ray Bolger, Phil Silvers and Liberace. Elvis and Liberace were photographed cuttting up with each other for the press.
Even if Las Vegas hadn't yet come to love Elvis Presley, Elvis loved Las Vegas. The city that never closes and the many lounge acts he could see there suited Elvis very well. He and his friends visited the local amusement park almost daily, went to movies and flirted with showgirls. One of the acts Elvis saw a number of times was Freddie Bell and the Bellboys. He was fascinated with their male-perspective performance of the Leiber and Stoller composition, "Hound Dog", which, with its original female-perspective lyrics, had been a hit for Big Mama Thornton. Elvis quickly added the song to his own act and, in July 1956, made his own recording of it.
Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker arranged for a Saturday matinee for teenagers at The New Frontier on April 28,1956, the very same day that Elvis' recording of "Heartbreak Hotel" hit #1 on the Billboard pop singles chart. The show was, of course, a "screaming" success and the $1.00 admission charge raised funds for lights in a youth baseball park. One of the casino owners gifted Elvis with a watch with diamonds.
His first engagement in Las Vegas brought mixed reviews. Although he didn't return to perform there again until 1969, Elvis enjoyed visiting Las Vegas in the years after his 1956 engagement. In the years following resounding triumph of his 1969 engagement, Elvis and Las Vegas became permanently linked in the public consciousness.
Elvis's first appearance in Las Vegas was was an engagement at the New Frontier Hotel in 1956. It was not until 1969 that he performed in the city again. Elvis was ready for a change by then. His movies had been less than fulfilling for him creatively. His TV special in December of 1968 had been successful and exciting, giving Elvis a needed energy recharge, a chance to refocus his career goals. His manager Colonel Parker worked out a deal for Elvis to perform at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel, which was still under construction, would become the biggest hotel-casino in Las Vegas in that era. It would have a 2,000-seat showroom as compared to the typical 1,200-seat showrooms at other properties in the city.
The Colonel asked $500,000 for four weeks, one show per night and two shows on the weekends with Mondays off. He also wanted to be able to record albums and TV specials using the hotel's facilities. The International countered with $400,000 for four weeks ($500,000 if Elvis would be the first star to play the showroom), two shows a night, suites for Elvis and the Colonel, and recording facilities. The Colonel declined the offer of having Elvis open the showroom, preferring that another act endure the working out of any bugs in the new sound and lighting systems. Not getting the extra $100,000 was not a worry because the Colonel felt he would be in a position to renegotiate their deal once Las Vegas saw Elvis perform.
Elvis auditioned musicians and put together a great band, including James Burton (lead guitar), Larry Muhoberac (piano), Jerry Scheff (bass), Ronnie Tutt (drums) and John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar). He also hired two of his favorite singing groups to provide backing vocals - The Imperials, a male gospel group, and The Sweet Inspirations, a female R&B group. For his costumes Elvis engaged designer Bill Belew, with whom he had worked on the 1968 TV special.
Elvis and the band planned and rehearsed. When they arrived early in Las Vegas to continue rehearsals, Barbra Streisand, who was the showroom's first headliner, was still playing her engagement there. Elvis spent time visiting the other shows on the Strip, watching the acts and gauging the audiences. Meanwhile, the Colonel was plastering posters and banners all over Las Vegas. He had radio, TV and print ads running daily. In reference to his promotional blitz the Colonel told Elvis, "......the gophers in the desert will know you're here!"
Elvis began his 4-week, 57-show engagement on July 31, 1969. Opening night attendance was by invitation only and the room was full of celebrities and music critics. It has been said that, from the moment that Elvis appeared on the stage to the strains of "Blue Suede Shoes", the room "exploded". This engagement broke all attendance records in Las Vegas. The International gave Elvis a special gold award belt in commemoration of this feat.
In the hotel coffee shop after the opening night concert, Colonel Parker and International Hotel president Alex Shoofey renegotiated Elvis's contract, writing the new deal on the tablecloth that covered the table where they sat, effectively raising Elvis's salary to $1 million a year for two four-week engagements each year through 1974. Between 1969 and his final Vegas engagement in 1976, Elvis played approximately 641 shows at The International Hotel (renamed The Hilton in the early 1970s) with great success, including breaking his 1969 attendance record again and again.
RCA recorded a number of his Las Vegas shows over the years. A particular performance in one of the shows of 1969 has gotten a lot of attention over the years. During his midnight show on August 26, 1969, shortly after beginning to sing "Are You Lonesome Tonight", Elvis became amused by the antics of a man in the audience. Once Elvis started laughing about the guy, he just couldn't stop. He continued to laugh his way through to the end of the song while Cissy Houston of The Sweet Inspirations continued to sing her soprano obligato. RCA has, to date, released this much-requested recording on three albums: the "Elvis Aron Presley" silver box set, "Elvis: A Legendary Performer, Volume 4" and the "Collectors Gold" box set. Certainly, there are more important recorded moments, but we can't resist including information about this one because there's a non-stop flow of inquiry about it. Once in a while, a disc jockey somewhere will play it on the radio and we'll get messages from people who want to know how to find it. To answer a typical second question - no, unfortunately, the performance can't be found on video. The only formal filming of any of Elvis's Las Vegas engagements took place in the summer of 1970 when MGM shot several shows to include in that year's theatrically released documentary "Elvis, That's the Way It Is".

so there's the explaination
I'd like to go to Graceland
He had such an infectious laugh. Watch the film "the Trouble with Girls"
In the scene where the female shop steward for the performers union is telling him off he cracks up and really seems to be laughing big time. It s one of the few times in a film that he gave more than a small chuckle.
I absolutely love that version. Everytime I hear that version, I laugh until I'm crying. Just to hear Elvis with his uncontrollable laughter is priceless.......
"We're lost in a cloud, with too much rain ~ We're trapped in a world, That's troubled with pain.....But as long as a man has the strength to dream.... He can redeem his soul and fly"
I uploaded it for those who dont have it.
Click here to listen http://media.putfile.com/AYLt-laughing
Its available as part of the whole concert on All Shook Up The Concert - FTD. Its a great album and that night Elvis is in fine form and AYLT isn't the only occassion he cracks up, he also does so at the beginning of Hound Dog. Its well worth listening to the whole show then AYLT stands in context as part of a great fun show. Lots of "woolly boogers" "funky angels" and "squirrels"!
Love the laugh! It's priceless. Thanks for the link.

It's not inconceivable that the final undefeated team in college football could be Ohio State.
The Buckeyes (10-0) are hardly home free, with a game this week at Wisconsin (7-3) and next week against Michigan (7-3). But the other 10-0 teams have their own potential pitfalls.
BCS No. 1 Kansas State ends the season against No. 15 Texas; No. 2 Oregon will face No. 13 Stanford and No. 16 Oregon State; No. 3 Notre Dame plays at No. 18 USC.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he hasn't given the national title talk any thought.
"And we're not going to have any discussion about that with our players," he said Tuesday. "Our kids know who we are.
"We have a lot of holes that we're still trying to patch to become a better team. At some point, that might be worth discussion. But not now."
Ohio State's season will end in 10 days, frankly, because of administrative arrogance.
The Buckeyes are on a one-year postseason ban for NCAA rules violations involving ex-coach Jim Tressel lying to investigators and players trading memorabilia for tattoos. The school self-imposed some penalties, but not a bowl ban thinking that the NCAA wouldn't do that.
But the NCAA did. So Ohio State ended up trading a trip to the Gator Bowl last season with a 6-6 team for staying at home this year with a potential national championship squad.
No sympathy here, nor from anywhere else in the Big Ten.
Meyer admitted he wondered early in the season if there might be motivation problems by the end with no bowl game as a carrot. He even considered framing the Wisconsin game as a Big Ten title-type game and Michigan as a bowl game.
|Click the image above to get the latest Big Ten headlines.
"I've had a couple of team meetings getting ready for this game," Meyer said. "I watched the way they approached yesterday's practice. And I don't believe I am.
"You do whatever you can to motivate your players. Once they watched the film ... the respect we have for (Wisconsin) players was obvious from the way they went to work. So I don't think we're going to have to make any special T-shirts."
Less star power
Readers frequently ask about the biggest difference I see between Big Ten football and the Big 12/Big Eight, which I covered for 30 years.
The answer is star power. First-team All-Americans, first-round NFL draft picks and game-changing playmakers are in short supply in the Big Ten.
ESPN football analyst Todd McShay's weekly 2013 draft projections, which include underclassmen, bear that out.
Only three Big Ten players are in McShay's list of 32 first-rounders — Ohio State defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins at No. 12, Purdue defensive tackle Kawann Short at No. 27 and Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Lewan at No. 32.
Keep an eye on the All-America lists that will come out soon. You might have to look long and hard to find any first-teamer from the Big Ten.
Quote of the week
Iowa cornerback Micah Hyde, describing how Purdue — on a five-game losing streak and with its coach on the hot seat — walked into Kinnick Stadium, outgained the Hawkeyes 490-264 and won 27-24:
"They were tougher than us. They ran the ball down our throat. I don't know why we weren't ready to go."
Stat of the week
Tailback Zach Zwinak's 50-yard touchdown run against Nebraska was Penn State's longest play from scrimmage this season. The previous long run had been 25 yards. And no pass has exceeded 45 yards.
Bits and pieces
Illinois hasn't won on Senior Day since 2007. The opponent Saturday is Purdue. ... Ohio State linebacker Etienne Sabino, who fractured his leg against Nebraska, is scheduled to start Saturday at Wisconsin. ... Purdue offensive coordinator Gary Nord missed last week's game with severe back pain, and remained bedridden Tuesday. Said coach Danny Hope: "Just like the players, he's doubtful." ... Penn State tight end Kyle Carter is out for the season with a broken right wrist suffered against Nebraska. ... Minnesota will play much of Saturday's game at Nebraska with a true freshman quarterback, a true freshman tailback and a redshirt freshman center.

Smoke-and-Mirrors: Eliot's Post-Cartel Cigarette
Smoke-and-Mirrors: Eliot's Post-Cartel Cigarette
Hall-Reis Op-ed in National Review Online
June 28, 2004
Good news: At long last, an American company has sued New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, rather than the other way around. Now here's the bad news: The lawsuit was filed over Spitzer's and his fellow state AGs' alleged failure to make good on their promise to protect an industry cartel. That failure, the suit claims, has facilitated a "huge increase" in the number of "renegade companies" selling "very cheap" products and making unprecedented gains in market share. Welcome to the strange world of tobacco regulation.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The plaintiff in the case against Spitzer is Commonwealth Brands, a Kentucky-based maker of discount-cigarette brands like <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Malibu, USA Gold, and Sonoma that signed the 1998 tobacco-settlement agreement. Commonwealth charges that Spitzer and other state AGs have failed to collect mandatory-escrow payments from companies that never signed the 1998 tobacco settlement. But this is an adversarial "lawsuit" in name only, for the plaintiffs are in bed with the nominal defendants.
Americans have been led to believe that tobacco companies were punished by the $200-billion-settlement agreement signed with 46 states. But the reality is that state attorneys general and major tobacco companies forged a government-backed tobacco cartel. The states got cash and major tobacco companies got a measure of protection against competition.
Like the "Big Four" companies that originally negotiated and signed the settlement, Commonwealth is required to make annual payments to states based on its share of the U.S. cigarette market. But to ensure that the companies could pay the states and their trial-lawyer cronies hefty "damages" (taxes) without suffering market-share losses, the tobacco settlement obligated the states to enact laws that would "effectively and fully neutralize" lower prices offered by competing, much smaller cigarette manufacturers that had not signed the agreement.
Despite that many non-signatories — officially dubbed Non-Participating Manufacturers, or NPMs — didn't even exist when the major companies were accused of marketing to kids and lying about the health consequences of smoking, the NPMs must still make annual escrow payments to the states. State AGs must "diligently enforce" those terms.
The signatories hoped that escrow-payment obligations would keep competing companies at bay. But things haven't worked out that way. Because NPM payments are based on sales volume (rather than market share) and made only to states where a company's cigarettes are actually sold, some NPMs have been able to offer their products at competitive prices and prosper. Over the five years since state ratification of the "Master Settlement Agreement" (MSA), the "renegade" companies have increased their market share some five-fold, from around 2 percent to somewhere between (the figure is disputed) 8 and 15 percent of the U.S. cigarette market.
Commonwealth and other signatories want this "loophole" closed. They have lobbied state lawmakers across the country to pass "allocable share" laws making NPMs pay hundreds of millions of dollars more to the states, which would drive many NPMs out of business. In Kentucky, Commonwealth's own general counsel sponsored such a bill while wearing his other hat — as a state legislator.
The bottom line is that attorneys general and companies in the MSA both want to sock it to outside competitors and their price-conscious consumers. So they're trying to get a court order to accomplish what the tobacco settlement itself, despite the signatories' clever intention, has failed to achieve.
Such increasingly desperate attempts to salvage the tobacco settlement reveal it as nothing but a rank, state-sponsored cartel — a scheme to limit competition and to fix prices under an umbrella of government protection. It's a bad precedent for a free country, and it shouldn't be allowed to stand.

Best Romantic restaurant – My Fiance and i went to the resort for his birthday and we ended our wonderful journey with dinner at this fantastic restaurant. We arrived a little late (close to closing) and the hostess was so sweet and told us she would get us in. When we did get in, everything from the bar to the view was wonderful. We had fun chatting with the bartender before we found our seat. our waiter was great with our order ( we're a little picky) and the food was marvelous. We were able to sit back and enjoy the view of the moon shinning on the water (our table was right by the window.) Our time here was the best spend on ANY vacation we've ever taken.
Take in San Diego's natural beauty and flavors with waterfront views and a menu featuring local, sustainable ingredients. – In Short

Manage Stress to Improve Mental Focus
Human mind has an uncanny habit of wandering from one point to another. If not controlled it would rather not involve itself in serious thought or concentrate on the job at hand. As age advances, the nerve cells take time to connect with each other and therefore there is a loss in concentration. Stress is also one of the major reasons why we find it difficult to focus.
In present day society it has become extremely difficult to lead a stress-free life. There are a variety of temptations and distractions that we are exposed to and we seem to come across a new one with every passing day - a new car or the latest electronic device or perhaps getting a new television set that is better than the neighbors next door. The competitive spirit makes us tense and we tend to be in this stressful state until we have acquired the latest material comfort. On the other hand making an effort to resist a temptation by itself can lead to stress at times.
Many times job pressures mount and create havoc in our mind. We often find ourselves doing a job that we do not like, which causes us to loose our attention span and make a mess out of what we are doing.
Besides external stressors concerns about health and the bodily changes that take place constantly disturb focus. Women, for example, undergo hormonal changes before and after menopause that cause stress and lead to the problem of a short attention span, inability to remember things and impulsive behaviors.
There are many types of behavioral and focus problems that can be reversed by learning how to improve focus and concentration. Getting yourself to narrow down your perspective is one way to lead a stress free life.
Stress occurs in most cases due to the broader perspective that you have of life. Meditation and yoga can help you clear your mind so that you can increase your ability to concentrate. You need to shut out that stress for the time being and convince yourself that the problem can be handled later. If you are unhappy at your job, convince yourself that your present duty is towards the job you are doing. At the same time, keep looking for a job that you think you will enjoy doing.
Admittedly, contentment does not come easily but if you give it a try you will find it is easier than you ever thought. There are certain health related situations that may be difficult to manage without the help of a doctor. Instead of worrying about your health meet the challenge head-on. Most problems are manageable, if not curable. You may be surprised that many times it is a simple matter of regular exercise or learning how to meditate that will help you get out of stress as well as sort out health problems that you are worrying about.

A sign inside the front door of Miami Velvet, a night club of sorts in a warehouse-style building a few minutes from the airport, states, "If sexual activity offends you in any way, do not enter the premises." At first glance, though, the scene inside looks like a nineteen-eighties disco, with a bar, Madonna at high volume, flashing lights, a stripper's pole, and a dancer's cage. But a flat-screen television on the wall plays porn videos, and many clubgoers disappear into locker rooms and emerge wearing towels. From there, some of them go into a lounge, a Jacuzzi room, or one of about half a dozen private rooms to have sex—with their dates or with new acquaintances. Miami Velvet is the leading "swingers' club" in Miami, and Roger Stone took me there to explain the role he may have played in the fall of Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York.
For nearly forty years, Stone has hovered around Republican and national politics, both near the center and at the periphery. At times, mostly during the Reagan years, he was a political consultant and lobbyist who, in conventional terms, was highly successful, working for such politicians as Bob Dole and Tom Kean. Even then, though, Stone regularly crossed the line between respectability and ignominy, and he has become better known for leading a colorful personal life than for landing big-time clients. Still, it is no coincidence that Stone materialized in the midst of the Spitzer scandal—and that he had memorable cameos in the last two Presidential elections. While the Republican Party usually claims Ronald Reagan as its inspiration, Stone represents the less discussed but still vigorous legacy of Richard Nixon, whose politics reflected a curious admixture of anti-Communism, social moderation, and tactical thuggery. Stone believes that Nixonian hardball, more than sunny Reaganism, is John McCain's only hope for the Presidency.
Over the years, Stone's relationships with colleagues and clients have been so combustible that his value as a messenger has been compromised. Stone worked for Donald Trump as an occasional lobbyist and as an adviser when Trump considered running for President in 2000. "Roger is a stone-cold loser," Trump told me. "He always tries taking credit for things he never did." Like Nixon, Stone is also a great hater—of, among others, the Clintons, Karl Rove, and Spitzer. So what happened at Miami Velvet one night last September, he said, amounted to a gift.
"She was sitting right over there," Stone told me, pointing to a seat at the bar, as we sipped vodka from plastic cups. (Miami Velvet is B.Y.O.B., to avoid the trouble of securing a liquor license, so Stone had brought along a bottle of the brand p.i.n.k.) "We were just having a casual conversation, and I told her I was a dentist," Stone said. "She told me she was a call girl, but she wasn't working that night." Miami Velvet prohibits prostitution on the premises, a point that is emphasized in the four-page single-spaced legal waiver that everyone must sign to be admitted. (Another house rule, which is reinforced by signs on the wall, is "No means no.") "She told me she had a very high-end clientele—she kept using the word 'high-end'—athletes, international businessmen, politicians," Stone said.
" 'Like who?' I asked her," Stone went on. "She named a couple of sports guys, some car dealers I'd heard of because of their commercials, and then she said, 'I almost had a date with Eliot Spitzer, the governor of New Jersey.' " Stone laughed. "She didn't know much about politics. So I asked her, 'Did this guy have a beard?' " (Jon Corzine, the governor of New Jersey, has a beard.) No, the woman said, he was a skinny bald guy—a description that fit Spitzer. According to Stone, the woman told him that Spitzer had reached her through her escort service, which listed her as a brunette, but she had dyed her hair blond. So the agency referred the governor to a dark-haired colleague, the woman said, who met up with Spitzer in Miami.
"I asked her what her friend said about Spitzer," Stone told me. "She said he was nice enough, but the only odd thing was that he kept his socks on. They were the kind that went to the middle of the calf, and one of them kept falling down."
Stone said that he decided, after hearing the story, to keep the conversation with the woman to himself for the moment. But there was never any doubt that he would eventually deploy it. As Stone puts it in one of the many rules he lives by, "He who speaks first, loses."
Stone spends most of his time in Miami these days, but he's still greeted warmly by the staff at the "21" Club, the venerable former speakeasy on West Fifty-second Street. "I love it here," Stone said, as we settled into a corner table. "It's like time stopped in about 1975 in here—my kind of place." What appeals to Stone is not just the red-meat-and-red-wine gastronomy but also the jackets-required formality. Stone has had his suits tailor-made since the nineteen-seventies, partly because he has a bodybuilder's physique, which makes it difficult to buy clothes off the rack, but also because he is fastidious about what he wears. He owns more than a hundred suits. For many years, he bleached his hair to an almost fluorescent yellow, but he now keeps it a more banal brown. For dinner, he wore a chalk-striped double-breasted suit, a starched white shirt with a spread collar, and a silver-colored tie, and, outside the restaurant, a homburg. His outfit comported with two of the rules in his book, "Stone's Rules for War, Politics, Food, Fashion, and Living," which he hopes to publish soon: "Never wear a double-breasted suit and a button-down collar" and "White dress shirts after six."

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

We were having our 1st sale of 2010 and wanted to make the front windows attract attention. Our shop is in a strip mall, with divided glass windows in front. The skirting is the perfect height to string along the bottom panes and "installed" easily to the metal window frames with suction cups. It catches the light from the sun in the daytime, and the overhang lights at night, really defining which shop is ours. This was a very easy way for us to quickly dress things up, we will happily try other colors in the future!

Neighborhoods: Downtown North
A++ on Food, D- on Reservation Management – We had 8:30 pm reservations for a party of 4 this past Saturday night. With the menu fresh in our heads and the GPS set , we got ourselves to Evvia's on time and plenty hungry.
The place was crowded, and we were parked at the small bar to wait for our table. For what I thought would be a few minutes. But then 10 minutes go by, and 20, 30 and 45 more minutes before the maitre 'd unapologetically announced our table was ready. If our friends weren't so fascinating, I would have been totally annoyed.
The food went a long way to making up for the inexcusable delay. We shared 4 appetizers -- the smelt were crisp and light and the beef tongue perfectly grilled with heavenly spices. But the grilled octopus, while flavorful, was overcooked and tough. I didn't sample the steamed mussels but was told they were just fine.
Our 3 entrees consisted of the daily special filet of sole and grilled pork chop, and the menu's lemon-oregano rotisserie chicken. My companions ooh'd and ahh'd. But what clinched the deal for me were the desserts we shared. Traditional arborio rice pudding with pear, a sweet chocolate sundae and a very yummy baklava. The crown jewel was the homemade yogurt drizzled with honey, walnuts and surrounded with perfectly sweet figs. For that alone the wait was nearly worth it. Nearly.
Service was okay -- our waiter seemed distracted throughout, then mixed up our dessert order. Patrons for the nightclub next door were lined up on the sidewalk, making for a bit extra volume both on the ears and eyes. But we'll go back again, on a weeknight. After all, there are just too many top-drawer restaurants out there that have a better grasp of their reservation system on peak nights than Evvia's. Divine yogurt notwithstanding."
Not as good as sister restaurant Kokkari in downtown SF – After having an excellent dining experience at Evvia's sister restaurant Kokkari in downtown SF, I was quite disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I could hardly believe the two restaurants were related. Portions were small and prices high. Several items were not fresh, especially fish, which had also not been boned properly. Desserts were great! Staff was professional but cold and also a little slow. Wine list was lacking and highly marked up. The place seemed busy though, mostly with a blue shirt business crowd and a surprisingly large number of Israelis. The valet service employed by the restaurant was very unpolished.
This is my favorite restaurant! – After being here 4 times with friends, and ordering 22 items on their appetizers, main entrees, and dessert menus, they are 22 for 22 at simply AMAZING food. The fried calamari is to die for. Somehow they magically were able to fry the calamari, yet keep it so soft it melts in your mouth. The Lamb Shank just "falls" off the bone. And finally, the Ravioli is simply one of the best comination of food ever! Try it out, you won't be disappointed!
I just don't get it. – Look, these are nice guys but I don't get it. They all have the requisite european accent but how is the food. I have been to Greece and this is not the food that I had. This is some kind of Cal Greek hybrid at best. And, for such a nice restaurant what's up with their wine list. Hardly any decent selection, like the wine buyer has been hanging out at Bev Mo. Go figure?
Evvia is amazing! – Everything we had was wonderful. Spanakotiropita was unbelievably creamy and sweet. Horiatiki is the best "traditional greek salad" I have ever eaten. The feta is plentiful, the veggies are fresh and crisp. If I could only recommend one entre it would be Arnisia Paidakia. The lamb chops were so lushess and cooked to a rare perfection. Kokinisto me Manestra, Souvlaki, and Kritharaki were also unbelievable. But save room for dessert especially if you choose to order Galaktoboureko or Yiaourti me Meli. Both are like eating heaven.
Elegant Greek cuisine served in one of the Peninsula's most attractive settings. – The Scene
This popular spot successfully creates a scene one might find at a rustic Mediterranean country inn, with fresh flowers and handmade pottery--a perfect setting for special-occasion dining. Exposed beams run across the ceiling; windows overlook busy Emerson Street. The dimly lit space is intimate and romantic, although usually buzzing with noise. On cool nights, diners stay warm in front of a large fireplace.
The Food
The menu balances Old-World traditions with modern flair. Start with grape leaves stuffed with beef and rice and flavored with mint and egg-lemon sauce or crispy calamari. Satisfying main courses include decadent moussaka, a baked casserole with eggplant, potatoes and lamb ragout, and the ravioli, four fluffy pillows stuffed with a rich zucchini-feta blend. Souvlaki is another reliable choice, with mesquite-grilled beef, mushrooms and onions served over wild pilaf rice. The wondrous sokolatina, a small chocolate cake shell containing warm, gooey chocolate, is the perfect finale.
Wonderful! – This is not a place for the uncultured- read weaker reviews with a grain of salt. They will say it's over priced. I completely disagree. The dolmathes (grape-leaf rolls with spiced meat and rice inside) were wonderful, not bitter like you'll find at other places that serve Greek cuisine- Evvia must use fresh leaves (you'd think it wouldn't be that hard in CA!). The lamb chops were one step away from filet mignon, the lamb shank was also incredibly tasty. Great red wine selections that accompanied our meals including the classic Greek salads very well. If you know your wine and your cooking, Evvia will not disappoint. Presentation was flawless, waitstaff quick and unobtrusive.
Greek Specialties at Inflated Prices – With a menu complete with upscale versions of Greek specialties and a dining room packed with rough hewn tables, Evvia offers patrons a glimpse of a local taverna in the Greek isles. Appetizers include Feta and Olives, Greek Salad, and a combination plate of Dolmathes, Taramoslata, and Tzatziki, while entrees include grilled dishes such as Lamb Chops, Striped Bass, and Rabbit. The cozy, noisy atmosphere is punctuated by tables that are alternately too bright or too dark, but the conscientious service makes up for any inconvenience. Anyone who has been to Greece would be outraged at the miniscule portions, and, despite a wine list that abounds with selections from Greece, California, and beyond, Dionysus would be furious at Evvias inflated $10 price for a glass of poor Sauvignon Blanc. While Evvia provides excellent, authentic Greek specialties, your wallet will be lighter by many drachma when finished (dinner for two $150).
Great food – Older crowd, nice decor, great food. The lamb dish was excellent and they've got a great selection of wine.
Best Greek Food!!!! – Best Greek food I've had....and this includes having spent 3 weeks in Greece. Wonderful (but loud) atmosphere, although the food IS on the pricey side. Well...compared to Greece.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The design of this card is elegant, romantic and vintage inspired which is why it captured my attention. I could not be happier with the product! The quality of the invitations are stunning. The customer service was not only helpful, but helped me choose different colors for the invitations. I had to change the layout of the card completely and the designers hit it right on the mark. Shipping was fast and delivered promptly. I highly recommend buying this invitation and using Paper Divas!"
"We ordered this in the Pearly White paper with rounded corners - and they truly look elegant, but not over the top. I will say that this invite with both inner and outer envelopes, the enclosure card and the RSVP card requires a 66 cent stamp by .1 ounce. Unfortunate, but still very pretty and high quality."
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"Sooooooooooo pretty. Your designs and the quality of your products are above standards! No-one else competes with the beauty of what you create. I am so bored with traditional cards. This Company ROCKS."
"This is the perfect invite for me and my fiance's January wedding! It is going to set the night of a cozy, elegant black tie affair. I have used Wedding Paper Divas for all my wedding needs and will continue to use them!"

My brother enjoyed his massage but the rest was like an ordinary gym. Somebody told me there was a solarium, but we found that had been done away with years ago.
As this was a birthday treat for my brother, I expected to be welcomed with the glass of champagne on entering. We thought it would be at the hotel itself, not at the golf club spa and club house which was very basic and a side issue. Wondered if we were even in the right place. I thought we were getting something special. The staff were very friendly but we had to ask for our champagne, pot of tea and cakes etc. For the amount of money it cost, I felt it all to be a secondary consideration. Very disappointing. Hardly anyone there besides us when I had been led to believe they were almost fully booked.
